Wool production
Wool production begins with sheep bred for their fleece, which is a thick coat of hair. The process involves shearing, where farmers carefully cut off the wool, typically once a year. The raw wool is then cleaned through washing to remove dirt, oils, and impurities. After cleaning, the wool is sorted, carded to align the fibers, and spun into yarn. This yarn can be woven or knitted into fabrics used for clothing, blankets, and textiles. Wool is valued for its insulation, durability, and natural elasticity, making it a versatile and sustainable fiber choice.
